Google runs on 5000 times more code than the original space shuttle

ou interact with millions of lines of Google code every day, whole lengths of them whirring into action every time you check your gmail or carry out a search.

Google is powered by billions of lines of code. But just how much goes into Google’s internet services might surprise you. The figure is 2 billion — that’s 5,000 as many lines of code as the original space shuttle.

Google Chrome also has 135 times as much code as a simple iPhone photo-editing app.

Although nearly all the software we use today has thousands of times as much code as the original Unix operating system, developed by AT&T in 1970, Google still blows its competitors away in terms of sheer length.
